Chapter 339 Chapter 339 Preparing to Attack Moonlight City

"Your Majesty, will tomorrow's enthronement ceremony still proceed as normal?" Captain Gao asked cautiously

The Emperor has returned to the throne. How could a person with a good reputation not show off in a grand manner?

"You bastard, didn't you see that we are all surrounded? Why are we ascending the throne? Why don't you go and defend the city?" the Supreme Emperor said angrily.

Originally, he was afraid of becoming the king of subjugation, but now that he was surrounded, how could he ascend the throne again? Even if he ascended the throne again, he would only be after repelling the enemy.

And we are thinking about how to break this fortified city.

"Shall we attack the city tomorrow?" Bibi Dong asked, sitting in the main seat and looking at everyone.In the past, it was Bibi Dong who discussed matters with me and Brigitte.

But due to the previous 'rewards', other people also have similar strength to Bibi Dong, and they also have a lot of say in front of Bibi Dong.

"I don't think it's appropriate. The top priority is that Mother Dong'er should go to appease the people first and stabilize the territory north of the Riyue River. The imperial city only needs to surround it. Attacking the city will increase our casualties. Now they still have When you are not desperate, your resistance will be stronger." Bingqing was the first to express her opinion.

"This is not in line with the military strategy. Marching thousands of miles away should be attacked by force. Otherwise, once our food and grass are exhausted, the army will be in danger." Bibi Dong did not agree with the Ice Emperor's statement.

"Food and grass are not a problem. I didn't expect them to be so stupid. They even gathered the food in the clear field. Our seven sisters have already moved out the food they collected." Zi Ji also said, obviously not in a hurry.

"Despite this, being exposed in the wilderness, once the Moon Empire organizes reinforcements, won't it only increase our army's casualties?" Bibi Dong still suggested a forceful attack.

"Mother Dong'er, don't worry about this, because it's impossible for anyone to come to reinforce them," Li Ming said confidently.

"Why are you so confident that they don't have reinforcements?" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes turned to want to know what I was thinking.

Because there is a similar scene in history.

"We have received news that their rulers sent King Kang to organize reinforcements. At present, the permanent army of the Moon Empire can resist us in the short term. However, once King Kang Xu Gou goes out and takes control of the army, he will not come back to resist us. Instead, he will wait for , he didn’t come back until we invaded the imperial city and captured the emperor, and he still came back with the slogan of revenge," Li Ming explained swornly.

"You are saying that King Kang is ready to ascend the throne and will not care about the life or death of their emperor." Bibi Dong also thought of this.

"This is obvious. Prince Kang is not a fool. Once he succeeds in rescuing the car, his achievements will surpass those of the emperor who just boarded the plane. His achievements will surpass the master's. He is also a prince himself. The new emperor will not bypass him. Why not sit back and watch the emperor Death ascends the throne by himself? He is qualified to ascend the throne." Li Ming continued, "But just to show off, he will still come back to attack us, so what we have to do now is not to attack the imperial city, but how to deal with King Kang after he invades the imperial city. army."

"So what we have to do now is not to attack the imperial city, but to surround him. The longer they go, the more frightened they will be, and the lower the cost of our attack will be. Secondly, the conditions for us to separate the river from them have been met. Now it is How to hold it at the minimum cost? Let’s take advantage of the time when King Kang is on hold. The longer the better, so we have more time to deploy in Jiangbei until we digest this land.” Bibi Dong also understood what I was thinking. spoke his mind

"That's bad food. I moved their food out. Even if we don't attack the city, they will surrender within a month, right?" Zi Ji thought she had done something stupid.

"You underestimate the officials of the Moon Empire. Judging from the food and grass you moved, they will not surrender even in two months," Li Ming said, thinking in his mind.

In the Imperial City during our meeting.

"Official, I just received news that all the military rations in the imperial city have been stolen by people from the Sun Empire," an old eunuch said to the Supreme Emperor.

"What?" The Emperor said in surprise, "Hurry up and pass the news to the Minister of Household Affairs."

Shortly after

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to this official." The Minister of Hubu didn't know why.

"I specially lend you something to calm the hearts and minds of the army and the people. However, I can only borrow this thing but cannot return it. I hope you will not be stingy," the Supreme Emperor said with a smile.

"I wonder what your Majesty would like to borrow?"

"I want to lend you the head on my neck."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am not guilty."

"I know you are not guilty. Don't worry. I will take care of your family after you go." The Supreme Emperor said happily while sitting on the dragon throne.

"I am not guilty!" the Minister of Hube cried.

"Come here, the Minister of Household Affairs neglected his duties and caused the theft of military rations. He was pushed to the vegetable market and beheaded in public. He also issued an edict that in the current national crisis, all people should contribute and donate food for the military." The Supreme Emperor announced on the spot, "Take him away."

The Minister of Rites took the blame completely. In fact, no one could stand the theft of military rations.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have military rations. I hope your Majesty will spare me." The Minister of Household Affairs shouted.

"Wait a minute, why did you say you had military rations?" The Supreme Emperor became interested.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not used food and grass before they move. I have long known that the enemy will attack our food and grass. So just in case, I hid it from everyone and hid most of the food and grass secretly in the official warehouse. The grain and grass captured are only a small part of it, and most of the grain and grass are still in good condition." The minister of household affairs cried and explained, "The purpose is to let the enemy steal our rations and make them think that we will surrender soon if we don't have rations. In order to reduce casualties. We won’t forcefully attack the city, so we have more time to wait for reinforcements, Your Majesty knows this!”

"Okay, Minister of Rites, you have done a good job in this matter. I am very pleased and can confer you the title of Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu," the Supreme Emperor said happily.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." The Minister of Household Affairs expressed his gratitude.

In fact, while he was collecting rations from the people, he directly consumed two-thirds of the rations. One-third of the rations would be enough for the defenders to use for a long time.So the other two-thirds were hidden, and the theft of military rations was something he didn't expect.

But the new Minister of Household Affairs also understood the truth. Once there is no military rations, he must borrow them from the people, and the Supreme Emperor will probably kill him again.So he only took out half of the remaining two-thirds of food and grass, and was still thinking of ways to continue collecting food and grass to prevent accidents.

In fact, just as the corrupt official said, we did not attack the city.

During this period, the army stopped near the Imperial City, but we began to continuously draw people from the Sun Moon Empire and the Sun Empire, and began to capture the north of the Sun Moon River one after another, and continued to control the land here. In their own hands, they implemented wartime communist policies in the newly occupied lands, suppressing the minority and winning over the majority.All land was taken back to the state and only a small amount of land was given to citizens.

Two or three months later, the area north of the Riyue River was firmly in our hands. The first batch of people we trained in Mingdu took root in various towns like seeds. The idea of ​​dividing the river and governing it has been completed. .

We once again came to the city and prepared to take down Moonlight City in one fell swoop.
